Information bar

The information bar automatically adds a named set of job information attributes to each printed page. Check the Settings Editor for available pre-installed or user-installed information bar names.

Setting @MarkPosition is related to the orientation of the page content. The orientation of the bar content is considered to be landscape. The rotation of the bar is determined automatically:

  • Top and left position:

    The top of the bar points towards the edge of the page.

  • Bottom and right position:

    The bottom of the bar points towards the edge of the page.
